Into The Garden

A shot entering the garden.

Welcome to part 2 of our tour of The Secret Garden. When I first saw this treasure a couple years ago, I couldn't believe something so magnificent was constructed in the middle of the woods. It was constructed about 1907 around a diversion channel that was built to supply electricity to the new lodge at the hot springs. This time I have my camera and here are some of the results I was able to capture. 😀

Multi-level fountains and waterfalls around the eastern edge.


A couple views of the middle of the garden.

Looking back toward the center from the northern wall. The stone, pillars and fountains gives me the impression of Greek or Roman ruins discovered in the woods.

And finally a shot looking north from near the main entrance. Again I created another panorama without quite enough shots. I think I need a few more on top and bottom. I will get another shot at this though as I plan return trips to see how the garden changes with the seasons. Thanks for following along and enjoy your day!
